I'd love nothing more than for him to show up and prove me wrong and absolutely wreck GS. Here's to hoping he does exactly that.
Don't hate on Looney he is actually a very solid player and a good rebounder. [Reply]

The thing is, he seemed to be a perfect fit during the regular season. I was beginning to think about the Halliburton trade positively. Then, the postseason arrives... [Reply]

I know Looney very well as a player. In fact, I know that he was an incredible prep who could score from anywhere. I don't hate on him at all. Sabonis, though, shouldn't be taking a backseat to him as a big.
All my complaining aside, the Kings are still much better with him on the floor. Alex Len is a waste of space. [Reply]
Doc Rivers had a lengthy answer on the Joel Embiid/Nic Claxton play, saying that he also thinks Draymond Green should not have been suspended.
Rivers' main point: "If we’re going to start punishing the retaliators and not the instigators, then we got a problem in this league." pic.twitter.com/61FxzI57Dj

I don't disagree with the concept, but I think some proportionally is needed.
Doc Rivers is just defending Joel Embiid being a jackass again. He can't be expected to make any sense. [Reply]
Boston needed to keep Udoka, who could light a proper fire under this team. Under Mazzulla, they take too many games off. No defense tonight at all. They've had games like this all year where they play down to opponents. [Reply]

Looking like Udoka is Raptors bound to me. Ujiri fired Nurse to make that move today. [Reply]
